In investigating the relations between the
railroad companies and the owners Of stock
wards the Interstate Commerce Commission
will find an interesting subject Many loose
charges have been made as to tribute levied
ON the owners of stock and the public would
like to know the real facts. One case oil Tn
kind is now before the Commission. 1t ought
to try and get at the foundation OF these
charges.
II is a remarkable condition of things when
a strike ia ordered on a railroad because the
company insists that the engineers and fire.
men must be able to read the orders they
receive, and be competent to distinguish
colors. Yet that is what has happened on
the Reading road. If workmen want to make
strikes absolutely ridiculous they could not
take surer way of accomplishing that end.
The Rev. Stephen H. Tying, jr., has
xritten letter about the affairs Of the Church
of the Holy Trinity, Madison-ave., which
seems calculated to stir up good deal OF
feeling. 1t is given elsewhere in to-days
TRIBUNE, with the reply of President Smith,

to-day with no expectation OF carrying the
State in November. Hence they are eager
TO nominate Thurman for Governor. When
they had a chance of success at the polls
Thurman was hardly thought Of by the men

leaders are talking of T. f. Powell, James
T. Campbell and Martin A. Foran. If the
friends Of the Administration control the con-
ycntion, and the ofliccholders are working

make a good enough figurehcad and that is
what the convention has in view. In that

AS for James L. Campbell, his condemnation
OF tho rcbel-flag order probably rules him out.
